Review: Sweet sweet murderation! Hijacker lets rip with four killer jams on Good 4 Nothing. The lead track hits with rasping levels of grot and a twisted dynamic that hurls bodies around the dancefloor. These venomous vibes continue throughout... 'Fighter' brings a little metal in to the fray, 'Get You' slaps you around with a savage swing while 'Livin It Up' brings serious swagger as you walk away from the scene of the crime scott-free! Making a killing with this one!
Review: Following some enormous releases on the likes of Next:Gen Audio and Sub-liminal, man like Complex returns to Good 4 Nothing with an even bigger body of work... 'Ephemeris Vol 1', a massive album loaded to the brim with crucial collabs with a full squad of like minded filth flingers and grot merchants. From Owls Of Filth to Tomoyoshi, Fanatics to Warhead, the rollcall is heavy and unrelenting as Complex serves up drop after drop after drop. Highlights on this first volume include the venomous 'Striking Snakes' (with Jack Reeves) the pneumatic high industrial energy of 'Unstoppable' (with Hijacker) and the outrageously squelchy 'Prepare' with Lucid. With a collection!
Review: Sounds like an old school chocolate bar your ma might put in your packed lunch if you'd stayed out of trouble, actually a really sick upcoming UK jump-up producer who's loaded with all kinds of ideas, energy and vibes. Following releases on the likes of Serial Killaz, Sub Heavy Audio comes his next Good 4 Nothing EP 'Words'. Four tracks, four different ways to absolutely shred up the floor, from the opening dancefloor chug and wallop of the intro track 'Words' to the final guttural bass blast and weighty kick of the finale 'Player', Breakout is fully on the job here and not taking any time for breaks whatsoever. Eat his words!

Review: It's been a while since Good 4 Nothing treated us all to one of their disgusting Horrible VA EPs but they're making up for lost time with this savage seven-track serenade of pure sickness. Each cut right at the forefront of the D&B sound, smashing down the boundaries between subgenres, highlights include the walloping early 2000s Bristol feel of Decrypt's 'Check This Out', the wild springy sensation and killer bounce of DJ Twista's 'Business & Ting' and the clattering energy and bone shattering vibe of Pruf's 'Hide'. Horrible indeed.

Review: Good 4 Nothing remains good for everything as they catapult themselves into 2023 with pure dubplate intention, teasing us with brand new heat from across their family of artists. 14 cuts in total, each one tickling a different underbelly of the D&B psyche, highlights range from Filthy Habits' loose-limbed grizzly opener 'In The Dark' to the final battle charge reese bass of Phadix's closing 'Forest Calls'. In between we have startling savage moments such as Fanatics' horn-melting wonky-leg 'Bebop', early 2000s flavoured riff gold on Breakbout's 'Over And Out' and pure wobble science on Lundy's 'Ride With Me'. And that's just the tip of this mighty iceberg.
Review: Look into our eyes, not around the eyes, not beneath the eyes, not above the eyes... Look deep into our eyes and feel The Force as he commits complete and utter 'Mind Control' on you. Making us move, feel, think and dance differently with every new dispatch, the long time D&B soldier (who's just about to hit his 20th year of releases) goes in deep on Good 4 Nothing. From classic early 2000s style jump behaviour (the G-Dub style hookiness of 'Crazy Out There') to pure rinse-out widescreen, high voltage energy (the mid 2000s era Charge Recordings 'Man Is God Now') The Force is most definitely strong on this one!
Review: No strangers to Good 4 Nothing, Breakout and Steryx link up for some brash bassline behaviour on the long-standing label. As you'd expect from such a tag-team, it's tear-up after tear-up as they pair go in with stripped back dynamics, grotty textures and high energy bass. 'Bullets' fires off deadly shots with big harmonics, 'Cell Activity' plays Q&A with unknown aliens, 'No Expense' hits with bouncy old school early 2000s jump up charm while 'Malevolent' hums with pure menace. Shots fired!
Review: Some habits are hard to break, other habits love to break things... Like longstanding duo Filthy Habits. Here we find them back on Good 4 Nothing with one of their broadcast and furthest reaching collections to date. 'Days Gone By' touches on a similar vibe to Serum's 'Trident' with its Berlinian influence and high emotional factor while elsewhere 'Finish The Game' goes full on wobble drama, 'In The Dark' takes things to a creepy place of tension and 'T's & C's' will have you reading print so small it will turn your eyes inside out. Good for everything.
Review: Following the various high grade teasers over recent weeks, the super talented Complex finally delivers his full album 'On The Outskirts' and it's a full-on 15 track assault of the senses. Flexing in all directions, instantly from chuggy, twisted, trippy cuts like 'Hypno' you know that Complex is stretching his legs and showing just broad his sound can be. Highlights include the neuro-like hip-twister 'Invading', the slinky swaggering sub-fest 'Interstellar' and the savage slaps of 'War Games' and the pure drama and theatre of 'Razor Flesh'. Don't skirt around this... Complex is killing it right now.

Review: Fresh from his recent statement with Harry Shotta Complex returns with a very special taste of his new album On The Outskirts. Two tracks, two very different vibes: 'The Birds' screeches like a falcon and attacks like an eagle with its high frequency riff but high pressure bite. 'War Games', meanwhile, takes us deep into the battle field and shells us with bassline scuds in the most tactical war-like way. With samples taken from cult movies and a sound that's pointed and focused, we reckon Complex's album is going to be something very special to look out for.

Review: Good 4 Nothing rally up the troops for a good old fashioned VA knees up with some good friends old and new. 'Horrible' by name, sick by nature across the five tracks we're treated to layers on layers of hurly burly basslines and high energy riffs. Standouts come courtesy of Kensei (old school Playaz vibes on 'Show You') the crispy militance and high pressure kickdrums of Machine Attax's 'Innocent Blood' and the moody, swampy funk of Complex's 'Go' but the whole EP is straight up fire.
Review: Errors are lessons waiting to be taught... Or just straight up bangers in the case of young Steryx who seems to be rising a mile a minute with his epic, high energy output in recent months. Following his meaty Tin Pan Sound EP last month comes this badman package. 'Error' is all about the angular funk and grizzled groove while 'Pay Attention' takes on more of a Belgian flavour with its high pitched harmonic tweaks and ball-kicking drums. 10/10 - no errors here.

Review: Good 4 Nothing get nasty with this crucial VA, simply (and brilliantly) entitled 'Horrible'. Flexing that grotty, angular, laser-firing weirdness that jump-up has been lacking in recent years, each cut hits hard. Hijacker & Shifu take the lead with 'G Ride' where nasty slimy sounds take the lead. It's backed up the huge rave monster that is 'Intentions' from Owls Of Filth, Lundy's absolutely disgusting wobbler 'Ride With Me' and the grand fired up finale 'Generation Z' by Damageman & Fuelized which has the same type of heads-down grit and fatness of a Generation Dub record. Horrible in all the best possible ways.

Review: Rewind, reload, re-up, return to the vaults... Complex and the gang look back over the last few years of releases and pull out some of the many bruisers and bangers the label has blessed us with over the last few years. Highlights range from Fanatics & Master Error's almighty sludge-fest slap-about 'Rebuke' to the snake-like venom and rasping electro-like bassline of Complex's 'Under Attack' by way of Phadix's classically-minded, high-freq loaded jump-up floor-burner 'K20'. Good 4 Nothing - always good for something!
Review: For their last release of 2021, Good 4 Nothing Records are very pleased to see the return of Phadix (Random Concept Origins/Out1ine), dropping an impressive two-tracker. Immerse yourself in the dark atmosphere of the twisted neurofunk journey "Forest Calls" and the gradual setting in of its hypnotic polyrhythms, followed by the trance-inflected party starter "Dreamscape" and it's stadium sized jump-up energy.

Review: With early support coming from the likes of Kenny Ken, Nicky Blackmarket and Mollie Collins, drum and bass debutants Psych & Jay Jay present this fierce four-tracker for Essex-based Good 4 Nothing. "Poison" is a proper jump-up throwdown sure to get those lighters in the air, with the wonkiest bassline you'll hear this year. Second offering "Eager" is a more restrained affair by comparison; this minimalist neurofunk trip is the proper underground flava you crave.
Review: After appearances on Gradient's Foundations collection and new label Into The Dark, and a cameo on Illphaze's 'Shadows' EP on Down 2 Earth, new talent Flint sparks up on Good 4 Nothing with his biggest EP to date. Expect nothing but big dramatic riffage, fiery jump-up energy as Flint lights fires left, right, centre. 'Hellfire' is all about the metallic laser blasts, 'Party' (with Obbley) teases with a big euphoric intro before dropping into raw sandpaper funk, 'Forever' takes on a trippy plinky plonky excursion which will sound ridiculously headbendy when dropped around the later hours while 'Breakdown' brings the finale fire with a unique blend of lasers, synths and processed vocals. What an EP.

Review: Tear out season has arrived and it's Spaow on the front line, a producer garnering a name for his devastating basslines. Turning Japan's capital on its head with "Tokyo Lofo", a wildly loose mash up of warped industrial basslines and jungle extractions make it through interludes of traditional asian instrumentation held together by an snippets of a liquid rhythm. "Geko" of the digi-flip rains down some neon spook in its melody before falling prey to huge halftime beats, stutter effects and tripped-out percussion. Parents be advised Adult Themes.

Review: Good 4 Nothing are back and you can tell why they've decided to put this tune at the forefront of their release schedule. Those stereotypical jump-up drums remind you what territory you're in before the tune even gets going but jump-up's tendency to sometimes err on the unappealing isn't present here at all. The drop propels you into a spacious arrangement characterised by a funky, uplifting and yet gnarly array of bass synths which are dying to be mixed out on a system.
Review: Spaow has channelled the chaotic energy of the monkey for this EP, a musical dexterity which has permitted him to create this absolute fire of a single. 'Monky Style' rolls out above a set of heavyweight drums and crashing hi-hats, which underpin a complex, chaotic yet precise mash of intertwined bass synths and old-school sampling. 'Avast' opens with a heavy arrangement that's matched in its upbeat drum lines, a serene moment of construction in what quickly turns into a very rough sea full of choppy basses and dirty sonics. Banging.

Review: Good4Nothing Records always tend to put out music that rests on the foundations of UK underground, the cross-over influences of jungle and D&B. it's always a fresh sound and it always brings up connotations of Boomtown, free parties and sunny afternoons. Twisted, gnarled jump up is the main focus here in the second part of their 10-year anniversary celebrations and Complex is a good example of how it goes down, his track 'Night Time' blowing and flowing through with all the power of the winter winds. Danger's 'Falling' is yet more filth, with a powerful drum line and punchy sub-bass that bangs in and out of the range. Excellent compilation.
Review: Good4Nothing Records are clearly good for something: putting out dirty jump-up beats that aim to destroy dancefloors. Maze has clearly come into this release with that objective in mind and 'Fireworks' pretty much does what it says on the tin, blowing up on the drop into an array of brightly colour, forceful low frequency notes which stab and stutter around the rest of the track. It's a powerful piece of music and one that's deffo a worth a look.

Review: Good4Nothing are turning 10 years old and are celebrating that fact in the only real way you should celebrate a label anniversary: with a big old compilation album. They've gone all-in for this one and raked up 15 tunes artists like Dutta, Ironlung, Slipz and Complex. Dutta' contribution is typically naughty, with a pulsating back end that sits just beneath a snappy drum line that includes a lovely, wooden snare that has just the right amount of bite. Part 1 of this series is a truly hedonistic banger of a compilation which is well worth checking out, we cannot wait to hear what the label has in store for us in Part 2.
Review: With a strange but catchy label name, Good 4 Nothing are dropping this weighty single from 2N, completing the theme of letter/number combinations. The A-side starts off in softer territory with some chill out sample work, but the tune is only ever going in one direction and that's toward the heavy: raucous drum hits, gravelly backing basses and a siren-like top synth line. 'Have A Good 1' is more spacious but equally as tough, with an element of the old school introduced into the feverish jump-up influence that is most certainly a new school trend, combining the two in wicked fashion. Yes boys.
Review: Having hurled the inaugural part of his "Bouhda Finga" series upside our playlists late last year, and taking a cheeky shroom trip in between, Spaow returns with another digit chucking doublet. Both perhaps a little funkier than you'd expect from the man with the usually angular and very brittle sonic signature, "Romandino" flips between shades like an early Clipz joint while "Brain Glitch" is a kitchen sink affair where you can tangibly feel Spaow throwing everything into the mix. The riotous results speak for themselves. Gun fingers are so 2018...
Filthy Habits feat Jeopardize
Played by: DJ Twista
Review: Filthy Habits? We wouldn't be surprised if Filthy Habits himself had a few of those, not just because it's in his name but because of how downright filthy his tunes are. 'Powers That Be' is a rush of pitched-up deathy synths that rolls out at max speed and with zero sense of giving a fuck about, well, anything really. All the other tunes on this release are in the same vein, and 'Next Lesson' smacks of the recent Bou and Simula stuff with its feathered approach to crafting basses. This is a solid release from a man who's been on the up recently.
Review: Spaow has channelled the mental focus of the Buddha for this EP, a musical dexterity which has permitted him to create this absolute fire of a single. 'Boudha Finga' rolls out above a set of heavyweight drums and crashing hi-hats, which underpin a complex, chaotic yet precise mash of intertwined bass synths and old-school sampling. 'Chilli Sosa' opens with a funky piano arrangement that's matched in its upbeat drum lines, a serene pool of calm in what quickly turns into a very rough sea full of choppy basses and dirty sonics. Part two coming soon, we hear...
Review: Good 4 Nothing bossman undergoes the knife of his own label mates as Premium and Certified both put their own stamp on two of his big dancefloor 2016 slapdowns. The former maintains the same up-and-down riff dynamic but with much more distorted atonality in the riff while the latter adds a whole new engine of bass texture on "Bad Bitches". Both paying total respect to the originals while taking them to brave new places, this is a perfect snapshot of where Good 4 Nothing is at right now.
Review: From Belgium to Canada via UK, G4N welcome two new names to the fold: Fanatics takes the lead with the particularly dramatic "Oblivion". Flexing around a cinematic string sample, Fanatics suddenly switches us down infamous rusty laser lane where the bass tasers you with a subverted low, twisted drone. Toronto's Handcutz joins the ruckus on "Auto Dialer" that spikes and slashes with a bassline so Belgian it hurts. Opening your jacksies round the clock, these are the type of fresh, aggressive bangers Good 4 Nothing was invented for.
Review: Longstanding jump-up merchant and Good 4 Nothing bossman Complex comes barging into your summer with another sledgehammer selection. "Anubis" hits with a bassline that's impossible not to compare to early Clipz. All whistling and fierce but funky, you'll be kicking yourself in the anu(bi)s if you don't pick up on this quickly. Highlights punch and bump every twist thereafter... The plucked note riff on "Real", the melting bass textures on "Ask Frank", the show-stopping wobbles of "Legohead" and the iron skank damager "Sneak Attack" all hit serious spots.
Review: More future-talent fire from the label that gave us early releases from the likes of DJ Guv and Prestige, Good 4 Nothing aren't messing around. We kick off the four-track power pack with label bossman Complex who runs with a crucial cinematic backdrop that's all spine-tingles and drama. Criticalblow follows with a real rumbler that's reminiscent of early 2000s Full Cycle era output where bass accounted for a good 80 percent of the tune. Minzo is all waspy and wild with a bass textures that morphs, mutates and melts in different directions amid some rushy rave pads while Heskk closes the deal on a gritty Belgian flex. Staccato one-note riffs don't come any sharper.

Review: Complex's G4N stable kick 2016 like murky mules with a brand new eight-tracker loaded with gully shredders from friends old and new. Jack The Ripper and Two Twisted are two names to make their G4N debut: the former laying down squelchy, planet squashing terror with "Dust" and "Death Of A Zombie" while the latter gets busy with sketchy, clipped-tone trippiness with "The Experiment" and "The Deal". Elsewhere label bossman Complex teams up with Dub Berzerka for the T-1000 killing metallic smasher "Cyborg" and looks to the dojo for inspiration on "Kombat". Finally Macky Gee delivers two of the darkest cuts of the collection with the harrowing ripples of "The Clown" and the straight-up nasty that is "Buss A Skank" where tidal waves of bass knock you clean off your feet. Not a dull moment, get collecting.
